Have you ever been too busy to eat?
I had a glass of water.
Today I walked for 5 miles.
I had two glasses of water.
I cleaned our bathroom and dusted our bedroom.
I showered.
I threw in a load of laundry.
I paid a bill online.
I had a cup of coffee.
I gardened, watered the flowers, and weeded.
I visited the kitties.
I folded and put the laundry away.
I had watermelon for lunch. Some is missing from the photo because I ate some before I remembered to take a photo.
I drank two glasses of water while talking to friends and family on the phone.
I helped my husband move an outdoor bench.
I replied to a few texts.
I drank a glass of water.
In between I myLotted and clear 186 notifications.
And now I’m starving and off to help hubs make dinner! We are having ribeye and zucchini on the grill, baked potatoes, and a romaine and arugula salad with a glass of fine and a glass of sparkling water. That should do it!

For sure you will be losing weight. When I eat that kind of meal it will cost me 1 pound of weight.

I literally eat nothing when I do the grocery shopping day. I usually have coffee with Hubby and I go out the door - I want to be out as early as possible (remember, I shop for 2 households at multiple stores). Today was one of those days . . . but I took 2 bites of scrambled eggs with my coffee. It's now almost 4:45pm . . . I just got out of the shower and I'm ready to get something to eat. I'm actually quite energetic on these days even though I don't eat.
The nice thing about melon is it kinda takes a while to digest, so it sits in your stomach longer, you don't get so hungry soon after, and you stay hydrated . . . or at least that's what I've heard. Enjoy your wonderful dinner!!!

@DianneN Shopping day is crazy. But it has to be done - and I'm glad I could do it for my parents too.
I got a melon today - and for my parents too. Last time I bought a crappy melon - not the sweetest. So we put in the blender with some syrup (water/sugar) and lemon juice and stuck in the freezer for watermelon ice. That was pretty good!
I love reading your tasty menus! Was that part of your Omaha stash? We had home pizzas - with Greek pita bread as the crust. I don't feel like cooking much on these shopping days.
Hope you had a relaxing rest of your evening! I am ready for 
! Chat with you tomorrow maybe!

@DianneN We used to pick up a chicken from Costco . . . but haven't in years. There seems to be too much salt in it (maybe MSG) and it just gives us a headache. Did you get your pizza treat stuff?
Awww, thank you. I'm so glad we get to chat almost nearly everyday now - I love hearing from you too! Oh no about your celery! Ours are still alive . . . but it really doesn't look like celery. I'll make a post on it soon with a photo.

Oh, my! Your shopping sounds crazy to me, but you need to do it. That's really awesome of you!
I'm going to be having a lot of melon for a while it seems. Hubs and I have a lot to eat before it goes bag. Thanks for the info. 
Dinner was too filling, but very tasty. We didn't need the salad and split a steak. Soon I will take a relaxing Beth and watch a movie with hubs.
Have a wonderful dinner and enjoy your evening.

Oh yes that happens to me when I'm out and too busy running errands here and there, meeting clients, etc. But not when I'm just at home. Even though I'm busy but I'm home, I always eat coz the food is just within reach.

@DianneN I used to be very thin and I never enjoyed it. Now my weight is just between 50-55kg and I never go beyond that and people still call me skinny. It had been my insecurity. Being skinny so I really want to gain weight. At 42, I could feel my body slowing down a bit, but still not gaining weight.

@toniganzon Consider yourself lucky. It's so much healthier to be at your weight or a bit underweight. In addition, you look better in clothes!

You are so busy that you forgot to eat. The food you are going to eat for dinner is very delicious 
I will be grocery shopping with hubby this afternoon. That would mean than I will not want to cook for dinner. It's good that we still have roasted chicken leftover from last nights dinner. Enjoy your day.

@Spontaneo I have the Instacart app. It lets me know what grocery stores do it in my area. All areas are different.

@DianneN we don't get decent melons in Maryland. But I am biased, they grow amazing watermelons in southern Indiana!

Some days all you need is a little bit to get you by. Others you need much more. The water probably filled you up too.
I am making either babyback ribs or teriyaki pork tenderloin on the grill. My neighbor just brought me some beets which I am going to put in the instant pot to cook. Yum.

@DianneN I actually prefer to eat them raw. They are crunchy and quite tasty. I'll probably leave one just for that!

Ooh, that watermelon looks delicious! I wish I had some right now. And I would last about 30 minutes if that was all I had to eat for the day!

Being diabetic, I have to keep a close track of eating. I cannot allow my blood sugars to get to high OR too low. When I get too high I get ill feeling all over, when I get too low, I am a bear to be around, not to mention what it does to my body. I used to skip meals but now, being limited to the intake of carbs per sitting, I feel like I eat many more meals than ever before in a day. It has been a good thing though, I am maintaining my weight, something I always struggled with pre-diagnosis.
